HELP! Jumpseat on shuttle america

[CommanderHoek]

Hey there. Just wondering if you folks at SA take anyone or if you specifically have to be on a "LIST" or Is it up to the Captain or? By anyone I mean; licensed ATP/US Passort holder. Jetblue changed their policy on Oct 4th and I need now to get from a Shuttle city served for The big "D" (Delta), to another large Delta city to start work. PM me if you can. Thanks a bunch.

SA does not take anyone with an ATP. You have to be in CASS or be a United or Delta affiliate. They also have a recipricol jumpseat agreement established with numerous carriers. Good luck on that one!

It seems to be if you can get past the gate agent for either United or Delta, then you can get on a Shuttle flight. I have never seen a Captain turn down a jumpseater. So the crew is not the problem. Good luck with the gate agents.

WTF? Well that is a bit off. All RAH carriers take ALL Part 121 and some 135 pilots. You do NOT have to be CASS, you can sit in the back.
We have agreements with just about everyone except Alaska.

You can NOT j/s just because you have an ATP.

You can't? Damn! I was on my way to the airport to try. Thanks for setting us straight.

Evidently our original poster was jumpseating(?) on JetBlue with no ID? Word.

On a side note, about 10 years ago when I was a flight instructor for an academy that had uniforms and IDs, I once tried sitting up front on a flight I had a ticket for. One of my genius co-workers told me that he had made it up front with his flight school ID.

I ended up in 12A embarassed. I eventually made it to the '121 and got to live out my boyhood fantasies of sitting in a big jet cockpit. I can die a happier man for it, too.
